How do I get rid of the animated page loading image on the tabs? (throbber)

I've tried many many different suggestions how to remove the throbber image on the tabs while pages are loading.

This isn't really a question. This is a solution, at least for Linux users:

1) First, run these commands from a terminal: 

 cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*default* && mkdir chrome
 cd chrome
 echo '.tab-throbber { display: none !important }' \
  >> userChrome.css

2) Restart Firefox

Yay, no more stupid animation burning 22% CPU and eating my laptop battery!

You're welcome!  :-)
